It is very easy to get lost, trapped, and hurt miles from help. Knowing just a few of these skills to catch food could just keep you alive. This will greatly increase your odds of walking out of there or getting rescued.
If SHTF this is also a great way to make sure you and your family have the chance to catch wild game and get much-needed protein into your body.
